How old is my dharia?

Hi guys
I wanted to share these pics with you.
Sometimes we say this dharia is from the 40ties or 50ties.
But it's always good to have the date on it!
- like this one from 1374/1954...
Do you have pics of 19th c. dharia?
Best,
Kubur

Hi Kubur,
Hmmmmm. Interesting. I could be way off here but I believe that yours is a Dharia with a different non original scabbard.
The hilt style is called RASHAQ but normally has a brass and silver scabbard of a very different style, like that one shown here. This is a RASHAQ with the correct scabbard....

Hi Kubur,
Here are pics of a couple of 19th (or very early 20th century) Dharias. The red leather on the scabbard of one of them has been replaced more recently. The rest is original.

Really nice, especialy the two last ones!
I did some photos of dharia in Istanbul and they are also from the 19th c.
Best,
